MP3 of the Week: Endless Wave, "Ocean Drive"

We first told you about ENDLESS WAVE earlier this year in our “5 for ’10” round-up, back when the songs that make up their new City Walls EP (Fort Point Records) were just demos with a dream. A few months in front of the knobs and a bit more sonic breathing room have done wonders for the trio’s potent shoeblazing style, and “Ocean Drive” — with its crashing crests of vocal delay, streaky cirrus-cloud solos, and freaky hybridization of Pale Saints and Pavement — makes one spiffy ambassador for their promising debut. They’ll release City Walls this Wednesday, June 9, at Great Scott, in company with Asteroid 4, High Dials, and Jupiter Transmission, but you can score “Ocean Drive” below whenever you have a few minutes and no heavy machinery to operate.
